"Commander! Our plane feedbacks the news. The Japanese seemed to have discovered our location. Now their entire fleet is coming here!"

On the flagship Changjiang 1 of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, a staff officer was telling Chen Houfu about the news that the front-line plane had been fed back.

"This is already within my expectations. If it is impossible to even estimate this, the Japanese navy will not be able to rank in this world."

Chen Houfu was not surprised at all. The first wave of attacks was just an appetizer!

And if there is a real collision, Chen Houfu is not afraid. Judging from the running-in training over these time, the sailors Han Ling gave him are not novices and standard veterans at all.

Whether in terms of cooperation or navigation formation, they are all veterans.

Although Chen Houfu didn't know where these people were exchanged for Han Ling. Chen Houfu still knew about making a fortune in silence. Han Ling didn't say it, he didn't ask. Every superior has his own secret. If you really want to know everything, then you are not far from death.

"Give Chen Chengzhang the power and ask for their assistance. If we really want to collide with the Japanese, these four battleships in the Pacific are not good. This time, the main task of our Pacific Fleet is to practice with the Japanese. The real main force of combat is Chen Chengzhang's East China Sea Fleet!"

Although the Pacific Fleet's strength jumped up and immediately became the fleet of the Asian platoon, he knew very well that the real main force of this naval battle was the Shen Chengzhang East China Sea Fleet.

Those ten battleships are not vegetarians. They are the real bloodthirsty beasts. This is why Han Ling also added two battleships to the East China Sea Fleet.

Chen Houfu and Shen Chengchang both understand the reasons in this.

As Chen Houfu's telegram was sent to the Huashan flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, Chen Chengzhang also saw Chen Houfu's telegram.

Then the East China Sea Fleet took the lead, and the Pacific Fleet followed and began sailing towards the southeast.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the main fleet of the Japanese Navy, the Chinese East China Sea Fleet and the Pacific Fleet met in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea.

This time, such naval battles were rare even during the previous period of World War I.

After all, this is not the case in ordinary naval battles, but this time the Japanese were forced to get angry.

The frequent defeats in the army made the Japanese base urgently need to restore the morale of the army in the navy, and the victory of the navy can also support the army.

Han Ling's idea is similar to theirs.

If Wang Dayong had the support of the navy, he would fight a little better, so Han Ling also concentrated the two fleets to decide to fight the Japanese navy to the death.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

When the heavy guns of the battleship sounded, it means that the navies of the two countries had begun a real naval battle.

In this naval battle, Chen Houfu's five aircraft carriers were protected in the rear by four battleships of the Pacific Fleet and a series of other ships.

Fighters on the aircraft carrier are constantly taking off, the most important of which are dive bombers and torpedoes.

As for carrier-based aircraft, there is no need to take off now.

Because along the way, all the carrier-based aircraft that the Japanese could take off were killed by the carrier-based aircraft of the Pacific Fleet.

The Japanese's backward carrier-based aircraft are really not the opponent of the Pacific Fleet.

In addition, their carrier-based aircraft are not large, and with just a few words, their aircraft carriers have become a bunch of decorations and can only be placed behind to watch the battle.

Since the Japanese carrier-based aircraft were consumed, the Pacific Fleet no longer targeted the Japanese aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier that lost the plane is a living target. Now that the naval battle has begun, it is serious to assist the East China Sea Fleet in killing the Japanese battleships.

Diving bombers began to hover over the Japanese heads. Once they found the right time, they would dive down and drop aviation bombs at the Japanese battleships.

However, it has to be said that although the Japanese battleships are relatively backward, the battleships are rough and thick after all. If they want to cause substantial damage to the battleships, or even cause great losses, they must use torpedoes.

Therefore, as soon as possible, the Japanese's Fusang battleship and the Yamashiro battleship had suffered a lot of aviation bombs, and thick smoke was also rising above the battleships, but they still did not suffer devastating damage.

"Order all aircraft carriers to release all torpedo planes! Snipe the Japanese battleships with all their strength, and let the dive bombers involve the Japanese air defense firepower in the sky! Although their air defense firepower is very weak, there are still. Don't let those air defense firepower hurt our torpedo planes!"

Chen Houfu, who was behind the fleet, looked at the telescope for a while and then gave an order.

As the first aircraft carrier in China, he knew very well how the aircraft carrier should deal with battleships.

A simple dive bomber is definitely not possible.

Hitting three aviation bombs is not as harmful as hitting one torpedo. This is to face a battleship with thick skin.

Night began to fall, and the Japanese and Chinese naval fleets began to separate. The naval battle this afternoon made everyone feel extremely tired.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the navies of the two countries began to send rescue ships to rescue sailors or pilots who were still in the sea.

On April 1st, the weather was pretty good. At the same time, the temperature in the sea water was no longer so cold, so many sailors survived.

At the same time, both sides began to count their losses. Although the naval battle did not last long, only a few hours, it was extremely intense.

Shen Chengzhang stood outside the bridge of the Huashan and looked at the lifeboats on the sea constantly salvaging the sailors inside the sea, without any change in his face.

It is said that the battlefield is the best training ground. Now Shen Chengzhang has experienced the Battle of Liao. He has sniped the island country's squadron in the Japanese Sea before, and has experienced quite a few wars.

It is even more like a large-scale naval battle like the Battle of Liao. It can be said that a hint of the demeanor of a naval general has begun to appear on him.

"Commander! Our losses are counted!"

A staff officer walked up to Shen Chengzhang and whispered.

“How is the loss?”

Shen Chengzhang asked lightly.

"Four of our ten battleships had slightly injured, but it did not prevent the continued battle. The Japanese battleship's main guns could not cause substantial damage to us.

However, five heavy cruisers have suffered heavy damage and are now protecting the fleet at the center of gravity. A simple repair will be carried out tonight. If you want to repair it, you will probably have to return to the dock.

In addition, we have four light cruisers, three destroyers and eight frigates that were sunk!"

The staff officer whispered from behind, saying that the casualties this time were quite good, and the losses in the last battle of Liao Naihai were much heavier than this time.

"The Japanese are really powerful! In just a few hours, they can actually kill four of our light cruisers, three destroyers and eight frigates! It seems that this is a bloody battle!"

Chen Chengzhang lay on the railing and said softly.

“How much do they lose?”

After a while, Chen Chengzhang asked softly.

The staff officer understood that Chen Chengzhang was asking the Japanese.

"They have three battleships that have suffered from our heavy blows. I guess they can be sunk for a while, but a lot of the credits are from the Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers!

In addition, they also had three heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and one destroyer sunk by us!”

"Three heavy patrols? Four light patrols? Haha! It seems we have not lost, we have made a profit this time!"

Chen Chengzhang seemed to have not understood the advice. The adviser just said that many of the Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers were credited to him, and he understood what this means.

But he was not going to do that kind of thing, he would be whoever should be. And he believed that in the end, his credit would not be able to be eliminated.

Now is not the time for government corruption. I believe that all this today will be placed clearly on Han Ling's desk soon. If he still acts like before, he will not only fail to achieve success, but may also be punished!

"Give Chen Houfu the power! Ask them to help protect our five heavy cruisers that have suffered heavy cruisers. In addition, ask, we want to borrow a battleship and several heavy cruisers, and return them to them after this battle to see if it can work!"

This naval battle can be said to be crucial. Chen Chengzhang wanted to give the Japanese a blow with greater confidence and kill them.

Inside the commander tower of the Yangtze River One aircraft carrier bridge.

"Commander! Commander Chen Chengzhang sent a telegram, they wanted us to protect five heavy cruisers that suffered heavy cruisers for them. In addition, they also wanted to second one battleship and four heavy cruisers, and wait for us to be returned to after the war!"

"Yes! Lend them, second the battleship Emeishan to them, and send four more heavy cruisers to them!"

After hearing this message, Chen Houfu agreed without hesitation.

Although he and Shen Chengzhang can be said to belong to two different fleets within the Pingyuan Navy, they all have a common name on their heads - the Chinese Navy.

This battle is a battle between China and Asia, and it can also be said to be a crucial battle. Any interests must be concessions in the face of national interests. Chen Houfu is still very clear about this.

He knew that the naval battle this afternoon caused losses to the East China Sea Fleet. Chen Chengzhang probably asked him to second the battleship and heavy cruisers for more certainty. Otherwise, according to Chen Chengzhang's arrogance, he would never do so.
